The First Fight
Both boxers looked super sharp in the opening round. Eubank was landing sharp jabs, but Smith was feinting, trying to draw the jab, and looked so patient in his style and confident in his ability that he was able to land some cracking counters. The close opener, but Smith just edged it with his better work.
In the second round, Eubank changed it up to a box on the outside in round two and create some distance between them, which prevented Smith from getting into range, but Smith stuck to him like glue, and Eubank had to work hard, and use up a lot of energy as he was constantly stalked by Smith.
The third was such a good round for Eubank that he became a bit too comfortable and complacent in the fourth. When he was backed into the corner, he neither held nor fired back, instead moving his head and upper trunk cockily, fully exposed and not respecting his opponent’s power, and was stunned with a big left uppercut and ensuing left hook that each did the real damage, both big shots part of a relentless 10-12 punch barrage. This led to Eubank's defeat as the referee called the fight before he got knocked out.
